Free Music Review: A Signifiant Improvement on Music&Arts Remastering
Hit: 5 Stars
This disc is contains two great performances of Rachmaninoff Piano Concertos #2 and #3. The original acetates for this CD are the same as those used for the Music & Arts CD, but the sound, particularly on the problematic #3 is considerably improved. The same scratches are still there, but the impact is reduced and the volume is evened out. The surface snap, crackle and pop is also very much reduced. So, while this disc may still not be to everyone's sonic taste, this 'desert island' remastering will probably anyone's best chance to listen to these glorious Gieseking performances with pleasure, at least until some better-preserved original discs turn up.
